You may use either. In both cases I recommend greasing the pan, placing the paper in, greasing the pan again and then dusting it with flour. Batter cooks more evenly, rises symmetrically and releases cleanly when done.

If you are using the parchment paper to prevent sticking, try the old-fashioned method of greasing the pan with lard or shortening and then dusting it with flour.

yes sure there's no difference

The two are not interchangable. Using wax paper for baking will cause it to smoke and possibly burn the product.

What is a alternative for parchment paper?

If you're making somthing like a cake where the paper will be completely covered, you can use waxed paper. If it's not going to be completely covered like with cookies, DON'T use waxed paper. Silicon baking mats and nonstick cooking spray work just as well.


Are paper cake liners used to bake cakes or only placed on cake after baking?

It is preferred that you use baking cups so they will not stick to the pan or crumble when you try to eat them. If you are making them for a party or event, stick with baking cups. Otherwise, when you just feel like making some, it is recommended that you use Vegetable Cooking Spray :)


Can you use greaseproof paper or baking parchment instead of waxed paper when making items involving royal icing?

How do you stop your quick breads from sticking in the pan?

Baking tins should be greased, using shortening - apply a thin layer of shortening, use a baggy or piece of waxed paper- over the entire inside of the baking tin. If you still experience the cake sticking then flour the tin... grease it completely - bottom and sides - place a piece of waxed paper, cut to size in the bottom and grease the top of the waxed paper - place a tablespoon or so of all purpose four in the tin and shake it to cove all of the greased areas ( this will require you to turn the tin on its side to be sure the flour gets all the way to the top of the sides) dump out any excess flour and pour in your cake batter. When your cake is done baking, set it tin and all on a cooling rack for 5 minutes, then turn the cake over ( onto the cooling rack) and remove the tin. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. Oops, sorry, you can't use waxed paper in a bunt pan, but follow all of the other instructions...
